I tried that, it didn't help any.

As I said, there are rules in place for every single
IP in a /22 subnet.  It would be over 12000 lines.  I
tried turning off the traffic shaping, it didn't help.

I tried that as well, unfortunately it didn't help.

It's worth noting that this behavior happens at
seemingly random times for random amounts of time.  It
also causes the interface to auto-negotiate it's
settings again.  During these periods, ping times to a
switch plugged directly into eth6 are 4000+ms.  When I
statically set the interface to 100baseT/full duplex
with mii-tool, ping times to the switch immediately
return to normal.  Unfortunately this fix only lasts a
few minutes, because the interface hangs up and
returns to auto-negotiation.

Also, I know this isn't a problem with my hardware
since it started happening immediately after I
upgraded the kernel from 2.4.25.

Thanks.
